Sony has confirmed that PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6 will allow you to buy new cars with real money as well in-game credits.

In what is becoming an increasingly commonplace revelations Sony has revealed that you’ll be able to buy in-game credits for the new Gran Turismo either through the PlayStation Store or ‘your friendly local retailer’.

Writing on the PlayStation Blog brand manager Penrose Tackie confirmed that you’ll be able to bu the credits in denominations of 500K, 1 million, 2.5 million, and 7 million credits. Although he didn’t say how much each would cost in terms of real money.

This is very much following the pattern of free-to-play games where you’re able to both earn in-game credits by playing the game or just skipping ahead and paying to unlock everything with real money.

The appropriately named Tackie doesn’t acknowledge the controversy that will inevitably surround the feature, but instead points to the chart above that shows what you can buy with 1 million credits.

Gran Turismo 6 is released on December 6 and according to the new blog post both the standard and special edition will be available as downloads.
